THE SECOND THRILLING ADVENTURE FOR ALEJA AND THE CREW OF THE LEGENDARY SHIP OF SHADOWS
Excitement and wonder are in store for the pirates as they continue to their epic quest across the world. But time is running out, and as their quarry grows closer, so the perils of the sea grow ever greater . . .
Praise for The Ship of Shadows:
“A feast for the imagination . . . an enthralling adventure.” – Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song
“This swashbuckling tale has it all – storms in jars, magic kraken bells, lost cities and a truly unique pirate ship. I loved it.” – Alex Bell, author of The Polar Bear Explorers’ Club
“Thrilling, exciting and intriguing and I can’t wait for the next instalment!” Rhiannon, Waterstones bookseller
I was thrilled to see the sequel to The Ship of Shadows had been released so I was extremely eager to join this blog tour. The first book was one of my favourite reads in 2020.
If you’re looking for a magical adventure, step aboard the Ship of Shadows. The story continues to follow Aleja’s journey on board the ship with the familiar cast from the previous novel. There are a few new additions to the cast of characters in this story and they really added to it.
This book has everything you can hope for in a children’s pirate adventure. A tale full of charm, danger, adventure, mystery and friendship. The writing style is gorgeous and effortless. Kuzniar transports you the many places the crew visits with rich, beautiful description that brings her world to life.
A fantastic sequel that will have you clinging on to every word. I cannot wait to find out what happens next in this series!
